Neuralink and the Problem of the Soul
Some of the questions we tackle, beneath the surface:
- Does Neuralink have the potential to alter human nature?
- What do technological innovations such as this say about the human soul?
- Does the soul have a special relationship with the brain, different than it does with the other bodily organs?
- Doesn't this contradict Aquinas' teaching and the doctrine of the Church that says the soul is the form of the body?... Read More
Reflecting the Trinity
Love begets truth, which together produces life. Likewise, truth is the form of love, which is inherently life-giving. This eternal paradigm of the Blessed Trinity reflected in creation corresponds to the truth of our being, i.e. human nature. Acts that contradict the truth of human nature can never be love, despite any subjective desire or […]... Read More

Christmas in the Mosaic of Jesus’ Human Life
Christmas is a milestone in the human life of Jesus, but not its beginning. Taking on a human nature, God shows us the entirety of the human lifecycle. The baby Jesus, who is the second Person of God taking on a human nature, is but one point in the maturity of the great mosaic of Jesus' human life.... Read More
Sexual Bulimia
The term “unprotected sex” is irrational. Procreation is a sign of health. It’s like saying “unprotected eating” when referring to eating without purposely impeding digestion and nutrition. Procreation and nutrition are natural ends of food and sex; whereas contraception and bulimia are not protection, but abuse. The fact that this simple logic of natural law […]... Read More

Ethics and Reason – the Forgotten Bridge Between Politics and Religion
The following two questions are related – the first was priority for premodern philosophy, the second is for modern philosophy: How should people behave? What behaviors should people be allowed to do? The first question is ethical, or the science of self-governance. The second is political, i.e. the science of state governance. The first is […]...

“Love” Isn’t Love
We are reminded by secular progressives during their pride month that “love is love.” This of course is kept vague and ambiguous as a bumper-sticker slogan, to avoid the scrutiny of reason. Without further definition, one must presume it means that sexual expression may be perverted in any way desirable as long as there is […]... Read More
Trump, Pence, and Moral Confusion
The Trump-Pence split on same-sex marriage, brought to the fore by the presidential candidacy of Pete Buttigieg, clearly illustrates a major intellectual defect of our times. With Trump supporting and Pence opposing because of “religious conviction”, the presumption is that there is no intrinsic objective right or wrong on this or any act relating to […]... Read More
Kraft, Sex, and Cultural Confusion
Putting aside who he is, his advanced age, and how many Superbowls his team has won (and all the positive and negative baggage that comes with that), we as a society must discern exactly why we believe that what Patriots owner Bob Kraft allegedly did was wrong. There is a conglomeration of contradicting values this […]... Read More
